INTERNET-RELATED SAFETY TIPS FOR TEENS
- Don't give out personal information about yourself, your family situations, your school, your telephone number, or your address.
- If you become aware of the sharing, use, or viewing of child pornography online, immediately report this to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children at 1-800-843-5678.
- When in chatrooms, remember that not everyone may be who they say they are. For example, a person who says "she" is a 14-year-old girl from New York may really be a 42-year-old man from California.
- If someone harrasses you online, says anything inappropriate, or does anything that makes you feel uncomfortable, contact your parents or another trusted adult. Have them contact your Internet Service Provider.
